Clothes Washers

Get $50 for purchasing an energy efficient clothes washer!

Why buy?Purchase a qualified clothes washer and you could use up to 40% less energy and 40% less water than with a conventional machine. That's equal to saving 7,800 gallons of water a year - more than most people drink in a lifetime. Plus, they extract more water from clothes during the spin cycle, reducing drying time, saving both energy, water and wear & tear on clothes.

What's my incentive?$50 cash back on qualifying models with a MEF of 3.2 or higher and WF of 4.5 or lower*. To download an incentive application form CLICK HERE.

What clothes washers qualify?Clothes washers must have a MEF of 3.2+For a list of eligible models CLICK HERE.

*Modified Energy Factor (MEF) is a calculation used to compare the relative efficiency of clothes washers, Water Factor (WF) is the water performance metric that allows the comparison of clothes washers water consumption independent of clothes washer capacity; the lower the value, the more efficient the clothes washer.

Dishwashers

Get $20 back on qualified dishwasher.

Why buy?Qualified dishwashers use 25% less energy and up to 45% less water. That means that replacing a dishwasher manufactured just 10 years ago with a qualifying model can save you more than $25 a year in energy costs.

What is my incentive?$20 on qualifying machines with a Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) Tier 1 (standard models)*.To download an incentive application form CLICK HERE.

Who can participate?Residential electric customers of participating UAMPS partners can receive this incentive.For a list of participating UAMPS partners CLICK HERE.

*Consortium of Energy Efficiency (CEE), the CEE specification includes Energy Factor (EF) and maximum annual kWh requirements. EF measures the number of cycles a dishwasher can run with 1 kWh of electricity. The maximum annual kWh requirement is intended to limit dishwasher standby power use.

Electric Water Heaters

$50 cash back for energy efficient electric water heaters!

Why buy?After heating or cooling, heating your water can be the biggest energy user in your home. Most water heaters lose energy through the walls of the tank, even when no hot water is being used. New energy efficient storage water heaters are better insulated, which means less wasted energy and lower bills. Plan ahead! Water heaters fail with almost no warning, so start thinking about your next water heater before you need one. Consider replacing your water heater if it is leaking, or if it is more than 7 years old.

What is my incentive?$50 on qualifying models of electric water heaters.To download an incentive application form CLICK HERE.

Which water heaters qualify?40-49 gallons with an EF* of 0.94 or higher50-65 gallons with an EF of 0.95 or higher66 gallons or larger with an EF of 0.93 or higherFor a list of qualifying electric water heaters CLICK HERE.

Why buy?Energy efficient light fixtures reduce energy use by providing savings year after year. Many lighting fixtures are designed for energy efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), providing additional savings on replacement light bulbs. If you are remodeling or building a new home, consider installing qualified lighting fixtures, it is a simple way to save energy and money.
